In this study, the optimization algorithm by inverse analysis that is the core of the adaptive management technique was adopted to update the soil engineering properties based on the ground response during the construction. Adaptive management technique is the framework wherein construction and design procedures are adjusted based on observations and measurements made as construction proceeds. To evaluate the performance of the adaptive management technique, the numerical simulation for the triaxial tests and the synthetic deep excavation were conducted with the Hardening Soil model. To effectively conduct the analysis, the effective parameters among the parameters employed in the model were selected based on the composite scaled sensitivity analysis. The results from the undrained triaxial tests performed with soft Chicago clays were used for the parameter calibration. The simulation for the synthetic deep excavation were conducted assuming that the soil engineering parameters obtained from the triaxial simulation represent the actual field condition. These values were used as the reference values. The observation for the synthetic deep excavation simulations was the horizontal displacement of the support wall that has the highest composite scaled sensitivity among the other possible observations. It was found that the horizontal displacement of the support wall with the various initial soil properties were converged to the reference displacement by using the adaptive management technique.

기존의 OTP(One-Time Password) 인증 시스템은 OTP 단말을 휴대해야하는 불편함이 있으며 생성한 OTP 값을 그대로 OTP 단말에 출력하기 때문에 주변에 쉽게 노출될 수 있다. 또한, 기존의 9자리 패턴 인식 방법은 같은 패턴 지점을 연속으로 인식시킬 수 없고 패턴을 그리는 경로에 다른 패턴 지점이 포함될 수 있다는 한계가 있어 제한적인 패턴 결과를 가진다. 따라서, 본 논문은 원형 배치된 패턴 지점 기반의 OTP 대칭 값 패턴 인증 시스템을 통해 OTP 단말을 휴대할 필요가 없게 하고, OTP의 각 자리 값을 대칭 값으로 표현함으로써 OTP 값의 노출을 막는다. 또한 모든 OTP 값으로 패턴 인식이 가능하도록 하기 위해 패턴 지점을 원형 배치하는 방법을 제안한다. 이는 직접적으로 OTP 값이 노출될 가능성을 감소시키고, OTP 인증을 위한 패턴 인식에서 패턴 지점을 원형 배치함으로써 모든 OTP 값이 패턴으로 변환될 수 있도록 한다. 본 논문은 패턴 지점의 원형 배치와 대칭 값을 이용한 OTP 인증 시스템을 제안하여 새로운 OTP 인증 방법으로 패턴 인식을 적용할 수 있도록 한다.

Purpose: This study is research of the conditions which causes difference between the refractive power of the measurement of autorefractometer and the prescription using phoropter. Methods: Autorefractometer (SR-7000) and phoroptor (AV-9000) were used to measure 60 eyes of 30 participants who had no eye diseases and wore the corrective lens due to Ametropia. To prevent the dependence of the prescription value of the refractive power on the testers, two testers measured the refractive power of the eyes of the participants at the same measuring conditions. Results: Statistically, the prescribed values of the refractive power by two testers were not significantly different. Most of the prescribed values of the refractive power were smaller than the refractive power by autorefractometer In case of myopic eyes, the difference between refractive powers by the measurement of autorefractometer and the prescription using phoropter showed the trend of increase as the spherical refractive power became larger. The result was analyzed by the range of the different cylindrical refractive power for the myopic astigmatic eyes. In this case, the difference between refractive powers showed the trend of decrease as the cylindrical refractive power became larger. Conclusions: No difference between the prescribed value by two testers was observed. In case of myopic or myopic astigmatic eyes, the difference between refractive powers by autorefractometer and the prescription were measured to be approximately proportional to the refractive powers of ametropic eyes. As the this difference become larger for the participant who needs the lens of larger refractive power, additional caution is needed in the prescription of the refractive power of the corrective lens.

Gray-level histogram-based threshold selection methods such as Otsu's method, Huang and Wang's method, and etc. have been widely used for the threshold selection in image processing. They are simple and effective, but take too much time to determine the optimal multilevel threshold values as the number of thresholds are increased. In this paper, we measure correlation between gray-levels by using the Gaussian function and define a Gaussian-type finite mixture distribution which is combination of the Gaussian distribution function with the gray-level histogram, and propose a fast and effective threshold selection method using it. We show the effectiveness of the proposed through experimental results applied it to three images and the efficiency though comparison of the computational complexity of the proposed with that of Otsu's method.

The Modified Aerosol Factor (MAF) derived from spectral Single-Scattering Albedo (SSA) values was created to express the light absorption properties according to aerosol types. As a factor of the MAF, slope of a linear regression line for SSA at four wavelengths shows positive value for dust aerosol, while negative values were found for mixing with other types of aerosol. The negative values were shown by anthropogenic and smoke aerosols. The modified SSA at 1020 nm was also calculated. MAF was calculated by summing the slope and modified SSA. MAF was -1.0 for the anthropogenic and smoke aerosol and 1.5 for the dust particles. Those values were decreased by increasing light absorption property.

In this paper, we propose a complexity reduction method of sample adaptive offset (SAO), which is an in-loop filter in high-efficiency video coding (HEVC). In the conventional SAO, an offset value is calculated for each coding tree block (CTB) to minimize the error between the original and reconstructed images. In order to determine the optimal offset value, all offset candidates are examined and the offset value that leads to the smallest rate-distortion cost is chosen. Thus, SAO occupies a significant amount of the computational complexity in the HEVC encoder. In the proposed method, we determine the least-used band (LUB) by considering the statistical characteristics of offset values and without processing the offset value included in the LUB. Also, in the offset value decision stage, we check only a certain number of candidates rather than all of them. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces the encoding time by approximately 8.15% without yielding a significant loss in terms of coding efficiency.

Cooperative spectrum sensing can improve sensing reliability, compared with single node spectrum sensing. In addition, Eigenvalue-based spectrum sensing has also drawn a great attention due to its performance improvement over the energy detection method in which the more smoothing factor, the better performance is achieved. However, the more smoothing factor in Eignevalue-based spectrum sensing requires the more sensing time. Furthermore, more reporting time in cooperative sensing will be required as the number of nodes increases. Subsequently, we in this paper propose an Eigenvalue and superposition-based spectrum sensing where the reporting time is utilized so as to increase the number of smoothing factors for autocorrelation calculation. Simulation result demonstrates that the proposed scheme has better detection probability in both local as well as global detection while requiring less sensing time as compared with conventional Eigenvalue-based detection scheme.

In this paper, we propose an average approximation filter which can effectively remove the noises of the images. The noises include impulse noises, gaussian noises and mixed noises. The algorithm is as follows. First, as a step of noise detection, we find whether the difference between the pixel value and the average value is greater than the threshold value or not after getting the average value that removed the minimum and maximum values in the applied mask. If the pixel value is greater than the threshold value, the pixel value is processed as noise. If it is less than or equal to the threshold value, it is processed as non-noise. Next, as the noise reduction step, we output the approximate value in mask as the pixel value and the average value except the minimum and maximum values of the pixel including the noise. As the result of applying this average approximation filter to the mixed noise images, the approximation filter can reduce the noises effectively more than 0.4[dB] as compared with applying the median filter and the average filter, respectively.

본 논문에서는 가상시점 영상을 생성할 때 발생하는 홀 영역을 효율적으로 채우는 방법을 제안한다. 가상시점 영상을 생성하려면 우선 깊이 영상에 대해 3차원 워핑을 수행한 뒤, 이때 발생하는 작은 홀을 미디언 필터를 이용하여 적절히 채워야 한다. 홀이 채워진 깊이 영상을 기반으로 하여 입력받은 참조 컬러 영상에 대해 3차원 워핑을 수행하여 가상 위치에 새로운 시점 영상을 생성하게 된다. 이때 또한 마찬가지로 3차원 워핑을 수행하기 때문에 홀 영역이 발생하게 된다. 텍스쳐 영상을 워핑하여 새로운 좌표계로 옮긴 영상은 주변 컬러 화소들과의 관계들을 가지고 있다. 텍스쳐 영상을 워핑한 결과 영상에서 발생하는 홀 영역을 채우기 위해 방향성을 고려한 홀 채움 방법을 사용한다. 홀 주변 화소 영역의 값들을 홀을 채우게 될 후보 화소 값으로 설정한 뒤, 각각의 화소값에 대해 비용값을 계산한다. 이때 가장 적은 비용값을 갖게 하는 주변 화소 값을 해당 영역의 홀 채움 값으로 사용하게 된다. 좌영상과 우영상을 워핑할 때 발생하는 홀 영역의 위치가 각각 다르게 나타난다. 홀 영역은 배경화소 값을 이용해 채울 경우 자연스러운 결과를 보인다. 배경화소 값을 이용하기 위해 좌영상과 우영상에 따른 새로운 홀 스캔 방향 또한 제안한다. 능동적으로 홀 스캔 방향을 선택하여 홀 주변 화소값들을 스캔해가며 워핑 결과 발생하는 홀 영역을 효율적으로 채우게 된다. 결과적으로 제안한 방법을 통하여 생성된 가상시점 영상의 화질이 좋아지는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

The denoising for image restoration based on the Wavelet Packet with absolute average threshold is presented. The Existing method is used standard deviation estimated results in increasing the noise and threshold, and damaging an image quality. In addition that is decreased image restoration PSNR by using the same threshold in spite of changing image because of installing a threshold in proportion of noise size. In contrast, the absolute average threshold with wavelet packet is adapted by changing image to set up threshold by statistic quantity of resolved image and is avoided an extreme impart. The results on the experiment has improved 10% and 5% over than the denoising based on simple wavelet transform and wavelet packet respectively.
